[Question] How to save the report generated during a commit

[crile]

Hello, thanks for this good software.

Maybe I use it poorly, but I want to save the report generated during the commit.
For example

Added: test_1.txt
Added: test_2.txt
Content modified: test_3.txt

It seems that, the log command doesn't return it. Only this message appears:
2 added, 1 content modified

My actual poor wordaround: Run the commit command one time, get the report, cancel the commit, run the commit again with the comment filled with the report.

Hi,
I'm not sure to understand your use case, but I think you should consider using the diff command which produce exactly the output you want.

Thank for your answer, I will try to explain again with an example.

I have one directory with one file (1.txt).
I run fim with init command and then a commit.
The output of the log command should be:

State #1 [..]
Comment: blabla
1 added

I add one file (2.txt). I commit again.
The output of the log command should be:

State #1 [..]
Comment: blabla
1 added
State #2 [..]
Comment: blabla
1 added

I modify the file 1.txt and add a file (3.txt). Then commit.
The output of the log command should be:

State #1 [..]
Comment: blabla
1 added
State #2 [..]
Comment: blabla
1 added
State #3 [..]
Comment: blabla
1 added
1 modified

How can I know that during the state 2 the added file is 2.txt for example ?
How can I know that during the state 3 the moddified file is 1.txt ?

I see these informations when I commit but with the log command, I can't.

Ok, I understand. You are right, it's possible for the log command to display all this details, because each file entry have a modification field with a detailed reason. I'll manage to add this in the next version.
Stay tuned to try it in a Fim snapshot.

Great, thanks.

Hi Cyril,

I have fixed the issue.
The 'fim log' command now display the same output as the 'fim commit' or 'fim diff' commands.
The repository format have not changed, but more information are saved during commit.
The consequence is that 'fim log' output work 100% with new commits. And with old ones it works but some information are missing.
Are you able to build a Snapshot of Fim and try what is on the master in order to check if what I did is what you expected?

Sorry for the late answer, I don't have too much time right know. I will try it later.

[evrignaud]

I'm going to build a release soon, so I close this issue.
This way you will be able to test this new feature.
Don't hesitate to tell me if something can be adjusted.

[crile]

I am not a developer but when I try to build it, it fails.
So I try your last release v1.2.1.
It works.
Thanks.

[evrignaud]

Great. Is it working as you expected?

[crile]

Yes thanks again.
